Middle school students acknowledge veterans
Anacortes Middle School students put together a dramatic tribute to U.S. armed forces veterans this week with an outdoor “display” that featured the photos of dozens of veterans, past and present. This display ran the length of the middle school building and around a corner. Many guests pulled over to take a walk among the yard-sign-sized photographs.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
